20 And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

21 And the leader having answered, said to them, Which of the two will ye I shall loose to you? And they said, Barabbas.

22 Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.

23 And the leader said, For what evil hath he done? and they cried excessively, saying, Let him be crucified.
